okay so title's not super clear so ill start. it made me hyper aware of how i or other people i know type, for one. also to this day i still reflexively do sets of 8 when i want to add many letters/dots. like, small stuff like that people who haven't read homestuck probably wouldn't notice


idk im just curious

oh god yeah the kanaya quirk. i associate the kanaya quirk with the important voice so i default to it when putting some emphasis

I typically format my usernames like pesterchum handles and will probably do so until the end of time. I also sometimes reference Homestuck's running gags (like "haunting refrain", "flighty broad", "federal fucking issue", etc) without even thinking about it.

Every time someone hates another person I tell them that hate is a form of love. This habit has also spread to my friends who don't read homestuck. They all want me dead, unsurprisingly.

i made a lot of formative decisions about my identity from reading homestuck in my teenhood. so, yes, in ways i probably don't even recognize.

despite not caring much for tavros i adopted his comma thing,,, it flows so naturally in text conversation. also, seeing the way dave typed was the catalyst for me switching auto-caps off on my phone

Absolutely, and it made me realize that falling in love with a fictional character was an entire possibility. There are a lot of pros and cons about it, but being in a relationship with Spades Slick has been awesome for the most part, and it really helps with my creative outlets as well :). It’s been nearly 3 years but I didn’t think it would ever last this long, not that I’m complaining of course

I mean, it hasn't really changed me as person aside from the way I approach art. It's mainly just the one thing that my irl friends associate with me now.

I'm a cartoonist and I've been working on this one longform comic for almost a year now- I've been slipping little Homestuck references in the entire time, like I'll have characters wear certain colors that go with their aspects and I'll have Rose or Vriska or whoever as background characters :)

it infected my brain when i was 11 years old and it won't leave. good news is that i can classpect anything bad news is that every time i see a homestuck reference i am flashbanged with all of my homestuck knowledge at once. very unpleasant

i am now hyper aware of how people type, i cannot make usernames for anything that do not follow the bigwordBigword format, and i draw out my words by exactly 8 every time
this webcomic ruined me and im not even mad about it
